Craving a Ski Escape? Check Out an Unexpected Spot - Sunny California02:38PM / Wednesday, December 05, 2007

If you’re heading west this winter to hit the slopes, you may be following many other ski bums who will be flying straight over the Rocky Mountains and landing in sunny California.
The Golden State is home to the most popular destinations for a growing number of skiers this season, according to the Orbitz Insider Indez (www.orbitz.com). California boasts the two most popular spots for skiers and snowboarders for the 2007/2008 season, with Lake Tahoe taking over the number one spot, and Mammoth Lakes, Calif. checking in at number two. Online travel agency Orbitz compiles its Index based on future hotel and vacation package bookings.
Worry not Rocky Mountain High! Mountain Time still attracts a huge ski crowd, with six of the top 10 spots on Orbitz’ list: Park City, Utah; Breckenridge, Colo.; Jackson Hole, Wy.: Steamboat Springs, Colo. And Vail, Colo.; Snowmass, Colo.; Keystone, Colo.; and Winter Park, Colo.
For some, mixing passions in a single vacation is the way to go. The Orbitz Insiders say an increasingly popular vacation option combines the best of both worlds -- golf and skiing. For those planning late winter and early spring trips, yes, there are domestic destinations where you can readily do this, including Lake Tahoe, Calif.; Snowbird, Utah and others. For many, to be on the slopes in the morning and the links on the afternoon is as close to paradise as you can get.
Although many travelers have already planned winter getaways, it’s not too late to make reservations. Now is prime time for booking for the spring, industry experts say. Here are some tips for those planning an escape to the mountains:
* Book as early as possible to find the best rates but also check last-minute deals.
* Book a vacation package. Combining air and hotel is a great way to save on trip costs.
* Pack smart. Few can pull off a ski trip without checking bags, so make life easy and only carry on what you need for the flight.
* Consider lodging in neighboring towns. Staying slope side or ski-in/ski-out is often more expensive. Lodging options nearby with shuttle service to the mountain is a cost-saving option
Also, make a checklist of everything you’ll need. Ski trips require a lot of packing and more “take alongs” than the usual vacation. A checklist will help ensure you don’t forget anything, and save you from having to buy any ski essentials last minute. Not to mention, any time spent in the shops is time taken away from the slopes. But if you don’t have skis to take with you on your winter adventure or don’t want to take them with you, most resort towns will have plenty of rentals readily available.
